Microsoft has revealed that the Halo series has now sold over 65 million units since Halo: Combat Evolved first released back in 2001.
GameSpot spotted the announcement at the tail-end of an article published on the Xbox Wire almost a fortnight ago which went almost completely unnoticed at the time.
Microsoft announced that the series had surpassed 60 million units sold last October, so an additional 5 million Halo games have been sold in the intervening 9 months, and with Halo 5 on the horizon it's likely that a new milestone will be announced early next year.
Halo 5: Guardians is set to release exclusively on the Xbox One this October.

Well deserved!
MCC might have sold a lot more than we thought!
Yup.
Ryng you are forgetting digital sales unless you are implying that somehow the other Halo series got a massive sales increased for no apparent reason.
Deserving of it. Good stuff Halo!!! Way to go!
Maybe some pretty impressive sales for MCC :).
Great series. One of the first FPS Series that I've ever played and one of my favorites.
This could mean that Halo:MCC is undertracked and if so that spells good news for Halo 5 sales.
Awesome, my favorite fps series
Halo 5 will push the series to 70 million and more!
Does my Halo MCC + ODST-DLC count as one, two or five units?
Gonna say one
Microsoft would count it was one, since it's all part of the MCC. If you bought the original individual games, it would be 5 :P
lol
What about Halo CE and 2 on PC? Plus Spartan Assault & Spartan Strike? ;) (I have all of them (pc & console & even the mobile ones) including halo wars....i got the limited edition of that to get one of halo 3's mythic map packs earlier :P ).
